The prnclaniatiou to American Jewry follows:
"June has been proclaimed Redemption Month for the United Palestine Appeal wlien all wlio have made pledges for P.ilc5tiiie arc called upon to redeem them in oidi r to provide during the month one million dollars in cash for meeting the urgent demands that Palestine is now making.
"Tliese demands arise, in the first place, from the program of constructive work such as colonization, the Hadassah mcdi- eal service, land purcliase, education,' etc., which must be carried through in accordance with obligations sniemly as¬ sumed. These demands arise, further, from the' abnormal situation created by an economic depression not yet over and which h.is brought a great deal of un¬ employment and distress in the cities of Palestine.
"We arc confronted at this moment hy a grave .situation, not because the eco¬ nomic situation in Palestine is critical, nor because the -generosity of American Jewry has become exhausted. Our difii- ciillies are due to the f.ict that there has been unusual slowness on the part of those who have pledged subscriptions to the United Palestine Appeals to redeem their pledges. The re4leinptioii of the outstanding pledges during this month which would result in at least a million dollars cash for remittance to Palestine, would meet the immediate demands and enable the constructive work in every field to go forward, relieving the urgent problem of unemployment and bringing nearer file goal of the Jcwisli national home.
"This word, therefore, goes out to'all our fellow-Jews and particularly to those who owe the redemption of a pledge they have made to the United Palestine Ap- pe.ll: Redeem your pledge at once. The responsibility for the immediate welfare of Palestine lies directly with us." iContimted on page 4)

R. W. At)ranisnn oil the piano and Mi^is Lillian Ixvin on the violin.
The order and decorum which pre¬ vailed during the entire prngratn was commented upon by all present. This was the first time that ceremonies of this latnrc were he'td in the new building; it was also the first time tliat most of the Colnmhiis folk had an opportunity to view the beautiful edifice which is ra]i- idly Hearing completion. It is estimated that -luf) people were in attendance. They not only enjoyed the splendidly arranged and carried out program, they also were deeply impressed by the elegant simplicity of the new "Schulc." The addresses of the various confirmants as well .as the address of Rabbi Solomon Kivlin were receive<{ most gratefully.
The Kabbi spoke «n "Israel — A Book Never Out of Print." Mr. Leon Nason, President of the Kast Broad Street Tem¬ ple, made the presentation of certificates and gifts to the Confinnaiitsi. The vale¬ dictory was delivered by Rose Zapolan. and the opening prayer was pronouncc<l by Stanley Wasscrstrom. Another prayer was made by Bculali Kocn.

THE SCHONTHAL SUMMER CAMP I

In aflonhiii; a pl.ice iii the great out-of-doors where youivt; and old can go for rc-t and recreation and where they can indulge in .swniimiiij;. hiking, liascball, volley hall, etc.. etc.. Ihey have rcspoiiiled to a crying need in llii'- coiiiiiumity. It I-. very evident that activities of this Kind under proper supervision will benefit physically, iiiciitally, and .spiritually all wlio will be iirivlleged to take part in them. All doctors agree that Iresh air, sunshine and out door exercise are most conducive to good health and good citizenship.
Wc are certain that many local folks will be delighted to hear that t he formal opening of tlie camp will take place toniorrow (.Sniiday}. The golden opportunity which the Camp will proviile sh(nilil lie gr.isped by every CiiKUNici.ii reader who wants lo enjoy a real vacation amidst con¬ genial surroundings and in a health giving atmosphere. Social service workers have come lo the realization that a gooil cam]) under careful and experienced direction and supervision cannot fail to exercise a bene¬ ficent and wholesome induence upon the lives of young and old. People coming back from a two weeks' outing in llie country are better e(|ui]iped to resume their regular activities. Moreover, through contact with .Mother Nature tliey arc given a broader view of life.
On Friday afternoon, June loth, a number of representative Jcwn visited and iii.specled the .Schonllial Cam]), ihey carried away with them a fine impression of tlie inviting swiiitiiiing pool, the spacious jiicnic grounds and baseball diamonds, the volley ball courts, as well as the other splendid facilities provided by the big-hearted men and women who, in co-ri]ieration witli Mr. Joseph Sclionthal. have made this "enterprise for health and halipiiiess" possible. It is needless to laud the generosity of these good people, nor to commend them for their tlifinghtfuliiess. Suf¬ fice to s,iy, that they have earned the blessing of God through the per- forinance of this genuine "Mitzvah."
TiiF, Ohio Jkwish Cukonicle endorses the Camp most heartily. We arc convinced that it is a genuinely constructive piece of philanthropy and wc urge those to whom it appeals to take advantage of it. We know of no better way of making an investment in one's health account than by spending two or three weeks at the Schonlhal Summer Camp near Magnetic Spring.s. According to Miss Anna B. Aaroiis. the capable and efficient Camp Director, girls aiicf'motliers will lie ai-commodaled the first few weeks. Later on, the boys will be taken care of. .Ml in all, the enterprise launched by Mr. Sclionthal stands as a fitting testimonial to his constant thouglitfulncss and brotherly devotion to the iTOlfare of his fellowmen. lie and his kind co-workers deserve all the co-operation and support lli.tt people of means can give them. To assist this project should be consiilered a privilege as well as a duly.— A. M. M.

Big Open Initiation at Realtors' Hall Was Seen By Three Hundred People
Confirmants of I.rf»cal TempIeH Re¬ ceived Gifts from the Order; Kc- portB of Delegates Were Dcliicrcd
The Degree TLnm of Zion Lodfje eclip<;ed all its previous pcrfurniaiiees J;)".* Mfjuday evening when, in the pres- L'lice of ail exceptionally big audience, it inducted a new class <jf candidates into Zion I-<irlgi- at Realtors' Hall So im|)rcb- sivel> and inspiringly were the initiation exercises carried out that those in at- ttndance were held spell-bound for over an hour. The splendor and the beauty of Judaism was explained to the candi¬ dates by the \arioiis nienihcrs of the De¬ gree Team in sncli a manner as to sthii- iilatc their further interest in their Mother Faith and in the sublime prin¬ ciples and puriioses of the Independent Order nf R'nai BVilli. A number of men and women, non-members who had never attended an initiation before, were s') inspired that they expressed the desire to get copies of the ritual of the Order f(fr more careful perusal and study.
The following men were initiated last Monday nigh.: Mr. Joseph Skilken, Mr, Harry Fried of London, Ohio; Mr. David Roth, M. J. Wolfsnn of Chilli- cothe; .Mr. Samuel Sclilansky, Mr. Jerome Ofiice, Mr. Morris Brown, Mr. Sam Byalos, and Cantor S. Grodner. ' Prior to the hntiation ceremonies, Mr. Heber Votaw, a hrothcr-in-law of the late President Harding and a leader in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, spoke briefly on the subject, "Freedom In Reli¬ gion." He decried the attempt of many Protestants to enact laws interfering with the liberty of individuals and dwelt especially upon legislation which fias as its purpose the legalization of Sunday as the Sabbath for the whole country. Pie siwkc in part as follows:
"When we fight the narrow-minded big¬ ots who try to prove that this is a Chris¬ tian country, wc should not only be as¬ sisted by^ the Catholic Church but also by other denominations, especially the Jewish people. This is not a Christian coiintry, any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan country. The founders of this nation pledged theinseli-es to keep the state separated from the Church. Let us continue in the path they omiined for us." Brother Edward J. Goodman was instrumental in bringing Mr. Votaw be¬ fore Zion Lodge and in securing Zion Lodge's co-operatiun in the work Mr. Votaw is prosecuting.
Brother E. J. Schanfarber made the presentation speech to the confirmants and turned over tn them the gifts sent from B'nai'B'rith hcadtiuarters.
Brother Dr. ICdelman, on behalf of the delegates to the Toledo Convention of District Grand Lodge No. 2, reported on the proceedings which took place in that city. He commended most heartily the cordially and hospitality of Toledo Jewry and expressed the fond hope that Co¬ lumbus will prepare a sli)l more elaborate and more entertaining program for the Cmveiition to be held in this city next year.
Cincinnati.—Tiic^ wi>rld ncrd« the Jew when he is ttttly a Jew, declaral Rabbi Israel Mattuck. spiritual leader of the Liberal Synagogue in London, m tii<> baccalaureate ^Kldrcss before the gradu¬ ating class of the Hebrew Uriion College in this city.
Dr. Mattuck' has just come to this country for a three-months' trip. He is an ahimiuis of Hebrew Union College and two years ago when this inMitution celel>ratc<l its fiftieth annivcrhary. the honorary degree of Doctor of Hebrew Law was conicrrod (ipon him.
Dr. Mattuck's nicssagc dealt with the Jewish ideal of personality In which he explained what a Jew should be.
"I conceive tlie ideal of Jowi.'sh pcr- sonaliti," he said, "to consist of the ap¬ preciation of holiness, which is central in Jewish teaching; love of learning, which has been characteristic of the best Jews in all ages; the practice uf ••harity, which has been a targe part of Jewish life at its best; in the spirit of human brotherhood, showing itself in jubticc, love and peace, which has animated the highest Jew isb laws and directed the best Jewish conduct; and all this hound up in the love of God, which hicludes all that Judaism stands for, ft'om which is¬ sues all that Judaism demands. The con¬ ception of Jewish personality Is rooted in that attitude of lo\e which blend"- 'he actual with tlie ideal, which combints the utmost endeavor in this world with hope for the other world, whicli weaves to¬ gether respect for what is human with worship for the divine.
"The present problem of Judaism is how to make Jews truly Jewish for their own sakes that they may attain to the highest of their humanity, for the world's sakt that they may servie it with their best. The world needs the jeiv when he is truly a Jew. The modern Jew-must serve the world in two ways—by his sti- cial message and by his message lo the individual; the first will embody the Jew's ideal of social justice; the other the Jcwisli ideal of personal pity. In both the Jew will express his Jewish genius, and by loyalty lo this Jewish genius he will save his Jewish'soul."
Discussing the problem of religion to¬ day, Dr, Mattuck said:
"The position of religion in the mod¬ ern world is, however, difficult. In ad- KContitmed on page 4)

Aaroiis. the capable and efficient Camp Director, girls aiicf'motliers will lie ai-commodaled the first few weeks. Later on, the boys will be taken care of. .Ml in all, the enterprise launched by Mr. Sclionthal stands as a fitting testimonial to his constant thouglitfulncss and brotherly devotion to the iTOlfare of his fellowmen. lie and his kind co-workers deserve all the co-operation and support lli.tt people of means can give them. To assist this project should be consiilered a privilege as well as a duly.— A. M. M.

The Degree TLnm of Zion Lodfje eclip and inspiringly were the initiation exercises carried out that those in at- ttndance were held spell-bound for over an hour. The splendor and the beauty of Judaism was explained to the candi¬ dates by the \arioiis nienihcrs of the De¬ gree Team in sncli a manner as to sthii- iilatc their further interest in their Mother Faith and in the sublime prin¬ ciples and puriioses of the Independent Order nf R'nai BVilli. A number of men and women, non-members who had never attended an initiation before, were s') inspired that they expressed the desire to get copies of the ritual of the Order f(fr more careful perusal and study.
The following men were initiated last Monday nigh.: Mr. Joseph Skilken, Mr, Harry Fried of London, Ohio; Mr. David Roth, M. J. Wolfsnn of Chilli- cothe; .Mr. Samuel Sclilansky, Mr. Jerome Ofiice, Mr. Morris Brown, Mr. Sam Byalos, and Cantor S. Grodner. ' Prior to the hntiation ceremonies, Mr. Heber Votaw, a hrothcr-in-law of the late President Harding and a leader in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, spoke briefly on the subject, "Freedom In Reli¬ gion." He decried the attempt of many Protestants to enact laws interfering with the liberty of individuals and dwelt especially upon legislation which fias as its purpose the legalization of Sunday as the Sabbath for the whole country. Pie siwkc in part as follows:
"When we fight the narrow-minded big¬ ots who try to prove that this is a Chris¬ tian country, wc should not only be as¬ sisted by^ the Catholic Church but also by other denominations, especially the Jewish people. This is not a Christian coiintry, any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan country. The founders of this nation pledged theinseli-es to keep the state separated from the Church. Let us continue in the path they omiined for us." Brother Edward J. Goodman was instrumental in bringing Mr. Votaw be¬ fore Zion Lodge and in securing Zion Lodge's co-operatiun in the work Mr. Votaw is prosecuting.
Brother E. J. Schanfarber made the presentation speech to the confirmants and turned over tn them the gifts sent from B'nai'B'rith hcadtiuarters.
